ok so here i am not knowing what to do i need help im not the best in these things can someone clearly point me to a solution or help plz

You need to flash a better recover than the stock recover, which you will likely need to flash with Odin. I'd try the Vibrant board to see if someone there could be of more assistance, but that's basically what you're looking at, as far as I recall from my TMO Vibrant.

Ok here are the updates of the problem, i did the a complete wipe of the phone then flashed the ice cream sandwich from passion from the phone and i loaded now where it bugs is there is no mobile network so im kinda stuck it detect telus under access point but in network operator it find nothing any idea guys?

You need to go back to eh03 via odin. Then flash as usual through cwm. It happened to me before. Without odin you wont get out of this.

BIG SGS2 problem :(

I tied flashing back my stock rom (GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI4_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI1) through odin, but when my phone restarts it goes straight to Android system recovery and a lot of errors come up with red writing saying...
E:failed to mount /efs (no such file of directory)
E:failed to mound /cache (no such file or directory)
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried to wipe data/factory reset and it says
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
Please help as i am a real noob at this
I understand i should have read through the forum properly but eagerness took over me
what firmware did you have before?
Reflash following the instructions for first step .

Thanks guys just found out i was flashing the wrong stock rom should have been

[Q] Korean Galaxy Player 5.0 Stuck in Boot Loop!!

Hello,
I own a Korean galaxy player 5.0 (16GB) YP-GB70. I previously had a custom rom flashed onto it. But I tried flashing a new rom by following the directions, that is revert back to a stock rom and flash the new rom. But after I flashed the new rom, the device was stuck in boot loop. The recovery and the download screens work however. I tried flashing a stock rom again but it was again stuck in a boot loop. I tried flashing many other roms but none of them worked.
In recovery mode it keeps showing this
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Successfully applied multi-CSC.

I tried wipe date/factory reset and wipe cache partition but neither helped.
Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advance!
hello
what FW did you flash last?
Did you touch at the PIT?
Do you use odin or other tool?
did you wipe "before" flashing? (can be different.)
IF ok you have to check if your memory partitioning has not been modified by a tricky kernel. (adb tools)
courage
Have you checked this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457730
Since your model is a Korean (YP-GB70) the hardware is different from the International (YP-G70).
It appears you know how to flash ROMs via Odin so you will need only a original Froyo or Gingerbread firmware with the file dbdata.rfs and a .pit file to use the re-partition and make your playea as new...

[Q] [XSX] {ICS} Weird partitioning problem... Help?

Ok, so I have the icsv10 kernel... And I still can't back up ROMS.
I don't want to go through flashing stock, prerooting it, and installing a new kernel each time I want to try a new ROM!
So maybe you can help me:
When I go to recovery it says:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
And when I format my cache it says:
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
Cache wipe complete.
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I have ubuntu in vmware, so I can use it if needed...
I want to try a new rom, plz help...
Fastboot erase cache.
Still not working, can't restore any ROMS, have not been able to pass the stage when it says that can't work with blocks 12, 13, 14...
What's wrong with my phone?!?!?
Well, I think I had all the problems ever!!!
I solved them, so I hope this post helps...
I had my phone soft bricked for an hour. The flashtool was starting to load, and then it would say error flashing.
So I fastbooted some prerooted ics.
Then it was working but it didn't have any space in the memory, like there was no internal memory (the two giga one). So that's why I couldn't flash.
There was nowhere to flash.
I did format from recovery a million times. Didn't do anything. No errors were encountered...
It would always return to german, didn't even retain settings.
Amd when I was really despaired, I wiped the phone via the phone settings menu: backup and reset -> factory reset.
And then the two giga reappeared in storage. Yay!!!
Then I flashed the nordic, fastbooted kernel ics10.elf and then flashed the Rom (modded ics 95 in my case, don't like miui) . All works fine. I'm the best...

[Q] Boot loop woes (Possible FS/partition corruption)

Hey there
I have a pretty serious problem with my I9100... I had installed the Paranoid Android 2.52 ROM and I was trying to switch to a different kernel. Which wasn't working for me, I'm guessing due to the Fastboot feature in that ROM.
The last kernel I tried was the Andromeda one. While trying that, I thought I might try to do a factory wipe using its recovery software, hoping that that might get Paranoid Android to boot.
Unfortunately, it would hang while doing the wipe, and I eventually (after about 20 minutes) power-cycled the device. I tried getting back to my working kernel, but Andromeda's recovery would either error out with mount errors, or it would hang altogether.
Eventually, I tried flashing a CF-Root kernel using Odin, and since then I was unable to get past the Samsung boot splash screen. I could no longer access the recovery software, but I could get into download mode and flash stuff via Odin (Kies won't recognize the device).
I've tried a variety of kernels and firmwares (including the stock one for my phone (GT-I9100_XEF_I9100XWKJ2_I9100XXKI4_I9100XEFKJ1, which I've previously flashed successfully to get it back to a non-rooted vanilla state)), but nothing I did would get the phone to boot.
Thinking the partition table might've been damaged somehow, I attempted the stock firmware from the first post here, including the PIT file and re-partitioning. This process would eventually hang when flashing datafs.
Thinking the bootloader might be damaged, I tried partitioning again, flashing the original bootloader from here, and again flashing the stock firmware that I've used successfully in the past.
I can now actually get past the boot splash! However, the phone boots directly into stock recovery, which looks like it's trying to do some post-update maintenance-type stuff, but fails horribly at it. Some of the output from it scrolls past the viewport, but this is the last lines that I can read:
Code:
[COLOR="Orange"]Formatting /cache...

It definitely looks like a borked filesystem/partitioning to me. I tried doing a factory wipe in this recovery, but it would hang at formatting /cache.
Any ideas of what I can do to get this thing up and running again?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
I successfully flashed a CF kernel, and can now access CWM.
I get these error messages, however:
Code:
CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Wiping cache partition in CWM takes care of those errors. Trying a factory reset will give me "Formatting /data..." for a bit, and then the device automatically reboots.
I can format /cache and /system alright, but not /data... I'm fearing that NAND corruption bug I've heard of, except I don't see how I would've caught it...
All right, so I've now confirmed that the Andromeda kernel indeed has the hard-brick bug. Why on earth anyone in their right mind would release a kernel based on that broken leak is beyond my comprehension.
And, to add injury to insult, the devs know there's a problem, yet do not warn about it in the OP, but they mention it some thirty pages into the thread. Thanks, guys!
Anyway, I'm currently scanning my internal storage for damaged areas so that I can custom-PIT my way around it.

Hopefully I'll see my phone booting tonight.
Using the patched PIT workaround, I now have my phone back up and running 2½ GB lost on the internal storage, though, but hey - beats being a paper weight!
